    is 4K really needed?

    I am a Creative using AdobeCC apps (Illu, Pshop, Indesign) and i have no clue if 4K is needed for my workflow, nor what difference it will make compared to a non4K display with 2560x1440 res. Also is a 4K display considered to be close or better than a Retina display?

    Need to purchase older Mac for Adobe CS4 apps, etc.

    Hi, A few months back I dropped my Adobe CC subscription and planned on (somehow) using my legacy CS4 apps instead. I tried unsuccessfully—and with many hours on the phone with Adobe Support—to try to clean my main computer, MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010, Yosemite 10.10.5), of all Adobe CC...

    After effects comp preview on high DPI screens

I'm running a 4k 32" monitor from a 15" Mbp and it seems it's running at 144ppi, which means my comp (1080p) display is tiny on screen, not essentially the half it should be. It's obviously hard to see detail in a comp at 100% when it's...
